Aesthetic standards In order to create an attractive, functional development, aesthetic standards have been established. These standards will promote a consistent, orderly appearance that will help preserve property values and provide assurance to tenants and investors about the quality of development that will occur around them. The aesthetic standards address components of a plot plan that will affect the visual quality of the plot as viewed from off-plot locations. In addition, these components affect the experience of on-plot workforce in their everyday lives. Figures 6-62 and 6-63 below illustrate graphic guidelines for plot landscaping, plot wall character and main signage for the logistics, support, & light industrial land Use Zone. For an attractive and consistent appearance throughout the logistics and industrial Zones, each plot should have a distinct front side and back side. In general, the front side should contain the main office and parking within a landscaped setting. The sides and rear of the plot can be more utilitarian and contain loading areas, utility structures and other ancillary uses that are generally screened from view of public roads.

COMPONENT DESIGN STANDARD

Location of Offices

Offices shall be located at the front of the building facing the road. Where Mezzanine office are considered a dedicated and separate entry shall be provided that is distinguished from warehouse structure and is commensurate with commercial office aesthetics.

Outdoor Storage Areas

Any outdoor storage area (including garaged in storage areas and liquid waste storage tanks) shall not be located within the Front setback. Any outdoor storage area must be screened from the road.

Mechanical Equipment & Utility structures

In general, mechanical equipment and utility structures shall be screened from offsite views: At grade water tank and mechanical equipment shall be located to the side and rear of the building. Roof-top water tank and mechanical equipment shall be screened from view and not be visible from the road.

landscaping A landscaping strip with a minimum average width of 1.5 m shall be provided along all road frontages except across vehicle crossings and where a guardhouse is located in the road boundary setback. the landscaping strip must contain:

Minimum 1 tree and one additional tree for every 10m of roads frontage. Where three or more trees are required these trees shall be planted no more than 15m

apart or closer than 5m apart. Trees shall be of a species capable of reaching a minimum height at maturity of 8m and

shall not be less than 1.5 m high at the time of planting. Walls & Fencing

Walls and fences are permitted under the following conditions: On the read and side of the property, solid walls are allowed up to a height of 2.5m however, on the front of the property

and any external boundary solid walls only up to a height of 1.4m above which a tubular metal fence with minimum 80% opacity may be erected. The total height of this barrier shall not be more than 2.5m.

The following types of fences shall not be permitted on any side of the plot: Barbed wire fencing. Corrugated metal sheet fencing.

Foundations of all walls and fences shall be located within the plot boundary

Signage Signage and branding is permitted at designated locations within the plot boundary as follows: Embedded within the boundary wall near the entrances to the plot. On the vertical surface of the main building. On a standalone independent pillar located within the plot (not exceeding the maximum height of the building).

Dimensions of the signage shall be restricted within a rectangular frame of 15m x 3m

Building Faade treatment

Attractive building faade design is required. Architects are encouraged to create simple, timeless design solutions that contribute to a high-quality character:

Buildings shall display variety in forms, material and colour to reflect a style consistent with modern logistics facilities. The office or non-logistics components of the project shall be expressed differently from that of the warehouses. Ancillary buildings and service buildings shall be architecturally treated with colours and materials appropriate to fit within

the architectural style of the main warehouse facilities
